黎明的灵修-第139章
The Repentance of Zaccheus, May 19
黎明的灵修-第139章
“撒该站着,对主说:‘主啊!我把所有的一半给穷人;我若讹诈了谁,就还他四倍’”(路19:8)。[1]
黎明的灵修-第139章
Men of Old Repent
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.Luke 19:8.{WGD 141.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第139章
撒该因为基督竟肯俯就他这个不配的人,不禁因祂的大爱和谦卑而惊奇万状,不知所言。随后,为要向他所才遇到的夫子表示挚爱和忠心,他就开口了。他要公开作一个认罪悔改的见证。……撒该还没有见到耶稣之前,已经在具体行动上,显明他是一个真正悔改的人。别人还没有控告他,他就先承认自己的罪。他听从了圣灵的责备,实行了上帝古时赐给以色列,而如今赐给我们的教训。耶和华早就这样说:……“你们彼此不可亏负,只要敬畏你们的上帝”(利25:35-37,17)。这些话是基督当年隐在云柱中亲口说的,而撒该最先对基督之爱的感应,就是向穷苦人表示爱心。……真正的悔改没有不起改革作用的。基督的公义并不是一件外衣,可以用来掩盖没有承认和没有放弃的罪。它乃是改造品格和控制行动的生活原则。圣洁的意思就是完全归主,就是将心灵和生命完全献上来遵守天国的真道。……[2]
黎明的灵修-第139章
Zaccheus had been overwhelmed, amazed, and silenced, at the love and condescension of Christ in stooping to him, so unworthy. Now love and loyalty to his new-found Master unseal his lips. He will make public his confession and his repentance....{WGD 141.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第139章
如果我们在任何不公正的交易上亏损了人,或是在经营商业时用了不正当的手段,或诈取了任何人,……我们仍应承认自己的错,并尽所能的予以赔偿。(DA 556)[3]
黎明的灵修-第139章
Before Zaccheus had looked upon the face of Christ, he had begun the work that made him manifest as a true penitent. Before being accused by men, he had confessed his sin. He had yielded to the conviction of the Holy Spirit, and had begun to carry out the teaching of the words written for ancient Israel as well as for ourselves. The Lord had said long before, ... “Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God.” These words had been spoken by Christ Himself when He was enshrouded in the pillar of cloud, and the very first response of Zaccheus to the love of Christ was in manifesting compassion toward the poor and suffering.... No repentance is genuine that does not work reformation. The righteousness of Christ is not a cloak to cover unconfessed and unforsaken sin; it is a principle of life that transforms the character and controls the conduct. Holiness is wholeness for God; it is the entire surrender of heart and life to the indwelling of the principles of heaven....{WGD 141.3}[3]
